Fall For Me Blog Tour - Review & Giveaway

Hey everyone! Today we have a stop on the Fall For Me Tour. There is a review of both books Fall For Me and Sacrifice and a giveaway for you all.

Fall For Me by K.A. Last

Series: The Tate Chronicles #1

Publication date: January 17th 2013

Genre: YA Paranormal/Fantasy

Synopsis:

“Angels aren’t supposed to fall in love, especially with each other. But for the record, you were worth it.”

Grace Tate is a Protection Angel and Vampire Hunter, and she has always followed the rules. But some rules are made to be broken…

Until now the fight against evil has been simple, and falling in love was never part of the plan. So what happens when it’s beyond Grace’s control, and when she least expects it she falls for the wrong person?

All hell breaks loose, that’s what.

At Hopetown Valley High, not everything is as it seems, and the one person Grace thought was her enemy becomes her most important ally.

Blood will be shed, lives will be lost and friendships will be tested. It all comes down to one decision, and when Grace tries to save all those dear to her, she realises not everyone can be—or wants to be—saved.

My Review

Grace only wants to do her job as a protective angel and vampire hunter. It has been what she has done for more years than anyone knows. She begins to question the rules that keep her from becoming a fallen angel after she meets a boy she likes more than she should and a vampire who is different from the others. She has her hands full trying to do what is right even when it goes against what she is told to do. The time has come to make some hard decisions and someone from the past just may have the answers she needs but she will have to learn to trust them first.Grace is a wonderful character. A angel vampire hunter and she is good at what she does. She is a very protective being who does what she believes deep down is right. She is also very torn in some big decisions she has to make. I didn't agree with all she does in this book but I still like her.From the start you can see this is going to be a special book that you have to keep reading till you finish. The plot is a great one that combines humans, vampires, angels, fallen angels and more. You really get attached to the characters and can't help but see what happens to them next or what they will do. Several things happen in this book that you won't see coming but they do break your heart. In the end you are wondering just what is Grace going to do now and what other secrets have yet to be revealed. There is plenty of action and mystery in this book and I would recommend it to all paranormal lovers. I'm being vague in my review but I won't spoil this book for anyone. Trust me you need to read it. I can't wait for more.4 out of 5 Bats~Pam

Sacrifice is a 23,000 word prequel to Fall For Me. It tells the story of Grace and Seth, and what happened in that castle. It is meant to be read after Fall For Me, although it can be read first...

Seth’s heart is breaking. He knows his decision will hurt the one person he keeps breathing for, but he can’t take it anymore. He can’t be near Grace knowing she will always be just out of reach.

Grace is oblivious to Seth’s turmoil. She loves him unconditionally, but not in the way he wants. They both know that in Heaven physical love is forbidden, and to break the rules is to defy everything they’ve ever been taught.

When Grace and Seth are sent on a mission to save a young mother and her unborn child, Grace must face the fact that Seth won’t be returning home. She doesn’t understand Seth’s decision and hates him for it. But what neither of them realise is how big a part that single decision will play in shaping their entire future.

What would you sacrifice for the one you love?

My Review

I had many questions I wondered about when I finished Fall For Me and Sacrifice answered some of them. You get to see Seth make his hard decision and just what made him do it. You see what kind of person he was before and it made me like him a little more than I did. I would recommend you read Fall For Me first I think I enjoyed this book more in doing so. It made me rethink some of my thoughts about Fall For Mein a good way. You get to see how it all started and how Grace and Seth have many ties to the past and how Grace became a protective angel and hunter. It was meant to be a short quick read and that is what it is. My only fault for it is I still want more so that is a good thing. I liked getting more of a background on this thrilling world the author created. This book has some heartbreak in it so be prepared o fell many things.4 out of 5 Bats~Pam
